One app that might be of help with your endeavors is called AutoIt
(http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/)

This suite of apps has a nice window browser, which shows most (if mot
all) information available from a Windows window. Sometimes not all
text in a window is available, depending on the window. It even comes
with a COM component, so it can be scripted from Python...

No affiliation, other than a contented user.
